RENOWNED brewery and pub chain Black County Ales will take over the former Droitwich Working Men’s Club which closed its doors in March.
The club shut after 106 years in the town and the future of the building was uncertain.
But now, Black Country Ales has confirmed it has bought the venue and will transform it into one of its popular pubs.
In a post on social media, Black Country Ales said: “Droitwich has a strong tradition of community venues and alehouses, serving local residents and visitors drawn to the town, with spaces like this central to everyday life over many years.
“Our intention is to respect and celebrate the heritage of the former Working Men’s Club by carefully looking after its character, while bringing it into use as a traditional real ale pub.
“The aim is to serve local regulars and visitors alike, and to ensure the building continues to play an active role in the town’s community for years to come.”
Black Country Ales has almost 60 pubs across the West Midlands, including in Worcestershire. The other closest hostelry is the Hanbury Turn in between Bromsgrove and Droitwich.
Black Country Ales pubs are popular with real ale and craft cider lovers alike.
The company prides itself on its pubs offering an extensive range of real ales (including their own beers), cask ales, a traditional pub atmosphere and classic bar snacks, such as its filled cobs, pork pies, crisps, nuts and pork scratchings.
